An examination of the Texas A&M Football Program

By finally firing coach Jimbo Fisher on Sunday, Texas A&M kicked off what should be a highly entertaining coaching search as one of college football’s higher-profile jobs just came open. The Aggies have the resources to swing with anyone, but those resources have not translated into contention for the national championship in recent decades.

Interestingly, athletic director Ross Bjork indicated Sunday that the size of Fisher’s buyout — roughly $76 million — will require A&M’s athletic department to increase revenues and perhaps cut costs. Will those measures change the type of coaches that Bjork goes after? That is hard to say right now.

Texas A&M can offer membership in historically the nation’s top conference as well as a fantastic pool of in-state talent. On the downside, expectations arguably outpace reality based on the Aggies’ historic on-field record — and booster involvement is high. A&M is not for everyone.
